How does your garden grow

I’ve always found the different stages of plant life fascinating, especially when they coexist all within one plant at the same time.

I’ve been waiting eagerly for our Honey Suckle to flower, we planted this years ago when it was just a tiny sprig and really rather unimpressive, but gradually over the years its grown and we get a yearly bunch of blooms.

The Honey Suckle isn’t the only plant to be showcasing her many different faces all at once.

No idea what this one is, but I just love them, they’re like little sun bursts!

Whilst I’ve been admiring the lovely flowers I’ve also been mindful of the bugs and such that call our garden their home, helping them make little habitats where I can.

Wow, lovely photos! I love this time of year with so many bright colours in the garden. My honeysuckle has come on leaps and bounds too and so have my poppies. Such amazing structures, I too am in awe at how they look at each stage of growth. :)

I love seeing the honeysuckle in order like that, so clever. I have been itching to find poppies this week. I did see a few last weekend but then a gust of wind came and blew all their petals away, in a flash, literally there one minute and all gone the next! They weren't even my poppies but I was left feeling bereft!Sweet Williams are lovely aren't they? Jealous of how surrounded you have been with flowers this week!I must buy some tomorrow- must must must!

I've never thought about the stages of plant growth like that but you're right! We've had Sweet Williams on the coffee table all week - they are lovely flowers and so cheap too. Honeysuckle is on my wishlist, smells beautiful.

Fab shot of the honeysuckle, I can almost smell it :) I love all your little wildlife homes, just goes to show you don't need to make big changes to make a difference. I'm with you on the snails though - no love lost for those in my garden either!
